Concepts
How ASC is organised.
Tenants
Every signup creates a tenant — your isolated namespace. Functions, buckets (well, S3 prefixes), secrets, and bills are scoped to it.
Primitives
| Primitive | Backed by | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Functions | AWS Lambda (CPU), EC2 spot pool (GPU, Phase E.2) | Serverless code with cold-start <500ms (CPU), <60s (GPU) |
| Storage | AWS S3 + KMS | Tenant-prefixed object store with presigned URLs |
| Gateway | OpenAI / Anthropic / Google + AIARCO GOAT | OpenAI-compat router with smart provider selection |
| Secrets | AWS Secrets Manager + KMS | Per-tenant secrets, never plaintext at rest |
| Billing | AWS Cost Explorer + Stripe | Per-call, per-GB, per-second pricing |
Plans
- Free — for prototyping. Hard caps on monthly invocations, storage, and gateway tokens.
- Pay-as-you-go — metered per primitive (function invocations, GB-stored, gateway tokens, GPU-seconds). No minimums.
- Enterprise — custom MSA, dedicated VPC peer, SLO commitments.
